Summary
Shikai Fang is a tenure-track assistant professor and machine learning researcher with 11 years of experience building intelligence grounded in physical-world signals. After a PhD in computer science from the University of Utah, he worked on LLMs, agents, and generative models at Microsoft Research and has research internships spanning Alibaba DAMO, Morgan Stanley, and neuroscience applications at Fudan. His work blends principled Bayesian and physics-inspired modeling with modern deep generative methods, applied to time-series, climate, finance, and neuroimaging. Based in Hangzhou, he brings both industrial R&D and academic rigor to translating foundational ML ideas into real-world systems. He maintains an active technical presence (webpage: xuangu-fang.github.io) and describes himself simply as 程序员, reflecting a hands-on coder mentality beneath his research portfolio.
